Letarghia
write yourself a raspberry omelette,
whispered the wife of a shrilling dentist
but the husband stood aghast in haste
entrance to the shrine in the middle of marble lake
acted as luxury, as a ravishing wraith
when out of nowhere - the restless stranger
came to the dwelling during a fork fight
from the waning glade to undid the anguish
and redeem all the throbbing days of the phoenix
lingering under the pitiless pillar
the tremulous intruder cut from the crescent moon
mostly ghostly, he violated violence
and snatched white tangled wisp from clouds
selfish like some unloved changeling
the phoenix has risen
and the dome melted to marble puddle
